WHY is making a guest list so hard?In the beginning we thought:a hundred guests? We don't even have that many friends.We were wrong.Making the guest list has put us at a halt.Of course we want anyone and everyone there! The more the merrier!But the harsh reality is: more guests, more money we pretend we have but really don't.So we're trying our hardest to make it small(er), filled with the ones we love and the ones who love us.

And after panera list writing dates

and those late nights where I'm in bed scratching and re-writing

as well as all the times I'd whip those little papers out of my purse to write a name that popped in my head that I probably shouldn't have forgotten in the first place...deep breath in...We JUST MIGHT have our final guest list.Can't wait to get the ball rolling with the rest of wedding planning!

Last weekend Ryan and I had the privilege of listening in on the Love and Respect conference (thanks to his mentor and wife for buying us tickets!) and needless to say, it was amazing! We learned so much about each other, why men and women act the way they do, and a glimpse of what to expect in the yeeaaars of marriage to come. In simple: Women need LOVE and men need RESPECT. I'm not crazy for crying like the emotional wreck of a lady I am, and Ryan isn't an unloving, terribly mean, angry monster man.... (just kidding!) Anyways, I would recommend this conference to EVERY couple. Married or not.
